Toyota has revealed a concept car for the new hydrogen class that will be introduced in the WEC from 2026. Full story and photo:
The car was unveiled on Friday at Le Mans and is due to complete a demonstration lap of the circuit on Saturday morning with Toyota chairman Akio Toyoda driving.
It echoes comments from Toyota president Koji Sato made in Fuji at the end of last month when Toyota contested the 24-hour race with a hydrogen-powered Corolla and more details of the WEC hydrogen class were announced. "I really want to encourage our competitors to consider hydrogen, not just because it's good for the environment but because it's truly an exciting option. The sound and torque, the dynamics, it's all there.
"The target to realise this project on the race track, but we can’t make any commitments at the moment."
